Alaska90:
I told you to differentiate between influence and being under empire

There is nothing in history both written and oral to suggest that Benin was directly ruling these places in this map

They influenced many place for example Owo culture of beads

Iamgrey5:
This map is absolutely a fiction of imagination of someone and inaccurate

The Ado had not arrived Lagos at that time

Ilaje was never under Benin empire rule at any point in its history.

And Oyo ruled over Ketu and Abadomey at that time.

Alaska90:
Please I am sorry you are spreading false narrative on internet

The places you mentioned were never under Benin empire at anytime in history

And if you think otherwise, please can give references so that I can learn more

There is a different between influence and being under an empire

Balogunodua:
Stale....

You edit my comment when you have nothing to say....an average Benin man can't think for themselves they are use to rewriting other people words....TAO11 was right afterall...

Unclekayfarms:
From Kogi, Lagos, Kwara, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Ogun reach Benin republic all our Yoruba parents refer to Benin as Ado unlike Ubinu which is derogatory.

The Yorubas that migrated into Igodomigodo saw unoccupied lands and called it "Ado" which means our new settlement.

It's now the Yorubas start calling it Edo unlike our parents.

We have Ado yam meaning Edo yam variety

We have Ado pepper

We have Ado Plantain etc all named after Edo products in d southwest.

jneutron4000:
You are correct Ade mean Crown/Royalty, I have read lots of articles on the Ogisos and the coming of Oranmiyan influences the land and the culture, that's why culture and language is dynamic. In this pics below are examples of name people bear in Edo, you will find Ade as prefix or suffix, even Adedoyin, Adetutu, Adesusu, AdesUWA. This simply shows a fusion between the Yorubas (Ife migrants) + Idu/Igodomigodo the Aborigines of that land.

Alba3:
1. Mama, ima(EY)= mother

De = to arrive, to come back

Imade = Mama is back, reborn

Other CY/EY/WY variations are Yetunde also Iyabọ

2. Imade = To pick crown

Ideadoctor:
If you are Benin, you are definitely Yoruba, but if you claim Edo,Yoruba does not know you, but any Benin that says he is not a Yoruba is a bastard

jneutron4000:
Imade is did not originated from Igodomigodo, ADE is a Yoruba word and it is used mostly as prefix or suffix in names just as imADE, ADEsua, ADEwole, ADElabu, orimolADE etc. Yorubas that migrated from Ife with Oranmiyan and they settle in Benin with Eweka the first that started the Obaship dynasty you people are just so funny with the way and matter you want to turn the history upside down.

soundOsonic:
Mouth in ibo onu Edo is inu Yoruba is enu

Oba means king in Bini but Yoruba took it from the bini. It is normal when you stay with people for a long time, they will always be adoption of some words

Baba in Yoruba means father in Edo it is Abale.
Beside baba is not used by the Yorubas alone some tribe across the globe uses it.

24SEVEN:
Edo state no get oil, yet they sited NPDC head quarters there. What happened to Rivers or Bayelsa. Bayelsa has history as the first oil producing state in Nigeria. Port Harcourt is Nigeria's oil capital. It's Unfair.

RTSC:
Edo state has no oil, but they get oil and gas investments that even the oil states don't have.

They enjoy the benefit of being south-south more than others.

Governance is everything.

Remember that guy who terrorised Nigeria at the nation's cup in 2008?

Junior Agogo is dead. He died at a London hospital of an undisclosed ailment.

He has been down with stroke since 2015, 3 years after hanging his boot.
He died at age 40.

”The apex court ordered that the runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfils the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least two-third of the local government areas of the state.

Here is the analysis:

Total votes cast: 810,782

APC: 534,541 votes

PDP: 189,452 votes

So PDP must get 202,696 to clinch the governor seat of Zamfara state.

Let's all Digest this please?

Ejike Mbaka, spiritual director of Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), says Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi, his running mate, might “end in shame” with the way they are going.

The Catholic priest said this after Obi failed to make donations at the ministry’s 2018 harvest and bazaar celebration.

Obi attended the programme which held during the weekend alongside other politicians from the south-east.

Standing by his side, Mbaka asked him to “stay in front of this children of God and tell God what you will do for Him … or what that means is, you don’t want to do anything for God. This is common deceit.”

Obi replied: “Father, what I said is straightforward. You will come and show me the project so that the two of us will talk. That is what I said.”

Mbaka then accused the former governor of Anambra of making “political statement” to which he responded: “Father knows I don’t make political statements. Anyone here from Anambra state knows Peter Obi has never promised anything and failed. I am a fundamental Catholic. I do whatever I say at the church.”

The priest said in response: “In your capacity and what God has done for you as governor … God hates stinginess. What I am saying is not to please you, but what will save your life. Otherwise you and Atiku will fail.

“If there is a place they will coat words for you, it is not at Mbaka’s altar. You can save your political destiny. Or in 2019, you people will not even know how they did the election. What will make my brother to come for bazaar and he won’t even break kola?”

Mbaka went on to tell Obi how governors of Ebonyi and Enugu made donations without announcing at the altar and urged him to do same.

“Your own is taking time,” he said, adding: “The way you and Atiku are moving will end in shame”.

“Let us continue our bazaar. You know since he is not supporting us, the ministry has been moving. If people start arguing like this, their downfall begins,” he said.

The priest also said he would make prediction regarding the 2019 presidential election come December 31.

Below is a video of the scene.
